It sounds like stack overflow. Either the recursion call inside the
function exceeded its specified recursion depth or the normally-valid
recursion depth exceeded your limit. I'm betting on the former, but
to find out your recursion limit, run this little Python script:

import sys
print(sys.getrecursionlimit())

Either way, it sounds like it's time to fill out a bug report,
because something's probably wrong with the installation script.
That's understandable. Recursions are tricky, slippery little beasts
that can easily get away from you.
